CQL & Endear: The retail CRM and AI powered clienteling platform built for Shopify brands

Endear is a CRM and clienteling platform built for retail. It syncs every customer, order, and product from Shopify and Shopify POS into one real-time profile, then gives store teams the tools to turn that data into personalized, trackable outreach over email, SMS, and WhatsApp. This is where CQL and Endear are better together: CQL architects the unified commerce foundation, and Endear activates it — so the customer data flowing through Shopify POS becomes lasting relationships and measurable repeat revenue on the floor.

Endear was Shopify Plus’s first certified clienteling app and was recently named Shopify’s top CRM POS integration — purpose-built for how retail teams actually work, not retrofitted from a B2B sales tool. That focus shows up in results: brands using Endear see a 74% lift in order frequency, an 18% increase in average order value, and an average 106x ROI. With one-click Shopify integration (no dev time required), built-in AI that surfaces each customer’s next best outreach, and Shoppable Stories that let shoppers browse and buy right from a text or email, Endear gives CQL clients an easy, proven way to extend the in-store experience across every channel.

Drive Revenue, Repeat Purchases, and Foot Traffic — At Every Store You Open

For CQL clients, Endear’s biggest impact shows up on the sales floor — driving repeat purchases, higher revenue per location, and more foot traffic back into physical stores. When every associate can reach their customers directly with a personalized text about a new drop, a restock, or an appointment, clienteling becomes a dependable way to bring shoppers back through the door. And as brands grow, Endear grows with them: every new location opens with the same tools, unified customer data, and playbook from day one — so expanding into new markets or adding stores never means starting customer relationships from scratch. It’s a pattern mutual clients know well: as Psycho Bunny rolled out Shopify POS across its retail locations with CQL, Endear equipped 150+ store team members to turn local relationships into repeat sales.

Psycho Bunny Attributes $160,000+ in Sales to Clienteling with Endear​​

Psycho Bunny turned to Endear after rapid store expansion made its existing approach – personal devices and pen-and-paper notes – unsustainable. Endear provided 1-on-1 relationship-building for Psycho Bunny clients, leveraging its retail clienteling CRM that gives store teams SMS, email, and analytics tools to manage personalized customer outreach at scale. 

Endear was deployed across more than 150 employees, giving teams a unified way to notify loyal customers of new collection drops, share shoppable stories, and let managers track staff-customer engagement through built-in analytics. Since adoption, Psycho Bunny attributed over $1 million in sales to messages sent through Endear, with email open rates hitting 61%, more than three times the retail industry average of 18%.
